Flat Classroom Project for 5th Graders

[Mary Freeman]

Hi! I teach 5th grade and would like for my students to participate in a flat classroom project. I read that projects are recommended for middle and high school students.
My students collaborated with 7th and 8th graders in Belize this past year. They worked very well together and built a web page as a culminating activity.

How can I find out whether or not my class would be allowed to participate and if another class would be willing to collaborate with us.

Hi Mary,
I am new to this site as well, but think my 5th graders would be interested in participating in a flat classroom project and collaborating with your class. Any idea how we would begin?

Hi Betsye,
Awesome! I have no idea how to begin, but I'd love to collaborate with your class! I have sent messages to several people asking for info, but haven't heard anything yet.
Where are you located?
We are in a small town called Spindale, in western NC.
I'll keep trying to find out how this project works and let you know when I find out anything.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Mary

Hi Kris,
I would love to collaborate with you. I have already committed to two other groups, but would like for you to join us if you're interested. Have you joined the ning for Elementary Teachers? You need to do that first and then you can see our projects. Let me know if you need help.
Thanks for your interest!
Mary
